'No Motorcycles Allowed' is focus of American Motorcyclist Association's Freedom Friday, April 12

  Whether banned from public beachside parks, private gated communities or acre after acre of public land, motorcyclists bristle when they see signs that say: "No Motorcycles Allowed." Motorcycle bans are the focus of the American Motorcyclist Association's "Freedom Friday" on April 12 to raise awareness of discrimination against on- and off-highway motorcyclists related to access to streets and public areas. "Motorcycle bans don't grab a lot of headlines, but they do exist," said Danielle Fowles, AMA grassroots coordinator. "We want to know about them, and we want to unite motorcyclists to block or overturn them." The Freedom Friday effort is part of AMA Go Ride! Month during April. AMA Go Ride! Month encourages AMA members and riders nationwide to renew their passion for riding in the dirt and on the street. It's a month-long celebration of riding that features stories, photos, contests and more. Freedom Friday is a special call-to-action posted on the AMA Facebook page each Friday to alert motorcyclists about important issues that pose a threat to motorcycling freedoms. Riders can take part in a contest related to the issue and win prizes. Each week's Freedom Friday photo contest asks AMA members to send a photo of themselves, preferably with their bike, near a symbol of the current topic. The winners in last week's contest that focused on health-insurance discrimination against motorcyclists were Jeffrey Goldstein of Pompton Lakes, N.J., a flight medic who submitted a photo of himself and his bike in front of the medivac helicopter he flies on; and Saken Aizhulov of Cary, N.C., who sent in a photo of his Triumph Tiger at the Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina headquarters in Durham, N.C. The issue that kicks off today is access discrimination, which can be illustrated with a photo of a "No
